One dead in suspected bomb attack near Indian Muslim shrine Posted: 11 October 2007 2229 hrs
JODHPUR : At least one person was killed and many more injured Thursday in a suspected bomb attack near one of India's most revered Islamic shrines in the northern state of Rajasthan, officials said. "It was a low intensity explosion. Preliminary information suggests a lunch box appeared to be packed with something which exploded," Rajasthan's home minister, Gulabchand Kataria, told AFP. The explosion happened outside the Dargah Sharif, or holy Dargah, in the state's pilgrimage town of Ajmer. The Sufi shrine is venerated by Hindus and Muslims. The minister said he had heard unconfirmed reports that two worshippers had died and 15 others were injured. Witnesses said at least one person was killed. Sayeed Tariq, an eyewitness, told reporters the blast triggered a stampede in the narrow ally that leads to the shrine. "Some 10 to 12 people were seen heavily bleeding and one worshipper was killed," Tariq said. "There was a stampede as people shouted 'bomb, bomb' and ran from the shrine," he said. Police sealed the area after the blast, and influential Muslim leaders called for calm. "This is designed to disturb the peace and harmony of our country and we appeal to all to maintain peace," said Kamal Farooqui of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, India's official Muslim welfare body. - AFP/ms <http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/305142/1/.h\ tml <http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/305142/1/.h\ tml> > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
